Assorted HeadlinesTrumbo’s Foot: Still Not Healed
The stress fracture in Mark Trumbo‘s right foot isn’t healed yet, nor does the cornerman expect it to heal until around late February, reports MLB.com’s Alden Gonzalez. With the addition of Albert Pujols over the offseason, Trumbo obviously won’t be playing first base much; however, the injury prevents him from taking reps at third base and likely also hurts his trade value for the short-term, if that’s a direction in which the Angels were interested.

SCOUT Leaderboards: Dominican Winter LeagueAnnouncement
The regular season portion of the Dominican Winter League (DWL) is now complete. Final SCOUT leaderboards for batters and pitchers are below. Complete SCOUT figures are available by clicking here.

Batting Leaderboard
Here is the SCOUT batting leaderboard for the DWL. SCOUT represents an attempt to derive something meaningful from small samples and is the average of a player’s standard deviations from the DWL mean in three important (and regressed) stats: walk rate, strikeout rate, and home-run rate. (Click here for more on SCOUT.)

Notes
• Kansas City left-hander Everett Teaford takes away the very prestigious honor of SCOUT pitching leaderboard champ. The 28-year-old is likely to pitch out of the bullpen again this season — i.e. what he did for most of the 2011 season.
• Atlanta minor-league reliever Jairo Asencio was excellent all season, especially at the striking-people-out part of the game.

In an effort to catch up with the Prolific Pole (as he’s not known to anyone), I’ve attempted to translate poorly some notable projections into WAR (or, WAR per 600 plate appearances). Park Factors are from wOBA platoon Park Factors at StatCorner. I haven’t attempted at all to integrate fielding runs (beyond positional adjustments, that is), but one can add or subtract those easily enough. All numbers assume major-league competition. All errors are mine and not Szymborski’s.
